Jeanie Bottle 315

It looks like Jeanie’s wild magic is having some rather far-reaching consequences…

NOTE TO READERS: This week you’re getting a 3-for-1 special!! Pages 315, 316, and 317 come out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. These three special pages will chronicle the consequences of Jeanie’s magic going wild during her sneezing fit. The main story will continue next week on Tuesday, June 30th.

I thought there were consequences for Jeannie trying to use genie powers to mess with people’s minds? Shouldn’t there be the same consequences for her power doing that even if not under conscious control?

I think the original wish was “make me a good wife.” So the magic is trying to get her a husband so she can become a good wife. Presumably she would stop being attracted to every new man after she marries one. Just guessing.

Jean isn’t imposing her will on or controlling the free will of the Greek fisherman.

The Greek Captain (since we don’t have a name for her yet) is being controlled by biology. Now I’m not saying all women’s mind goes to mush when they meet men, but she’s been turned into a women with a extreme susceptiblity to her hormones in this regaurd.

Same with the little girl. She has her male mind, but the emotions, maturity and desires of a little girl (hence the bunny doll and pony cartoons).

Just before the POOF!, each one of them complains that the other one got the better (or less worse) deal. At least to me, that sounds like they each wished they had it as good as the other one–and then, both got their wishes. So, maybe even genies having allergic reactions unconsciously respond to masters and ex-masters (or victims.)

So why did Neil get hit on the head by furniture? Well, it is something Jean has done at least once before…

I know you’ve stated a few things up above to try to explain it, but it REALLY upsets me the way you’ve depicted their actions as being so greatly predicated upon their forms, as if they have no will, and/or the magic has re-written their individuality.

Thinking about it I’d rather be a little girl interested in pony cartoons and bunny dolls than a grown woman who’s mind went to mush around boy’s and wound up sleeping with a different one on a nightly basis.
